Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 3), Salok 35 — The One Who Begs for the Fearless State
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Someone who begs for the highest state, the state of the Fearless and Spotless One —
Nanak says: rare is the person who gets the chance to give food to such a one.
Some people ask for only one thing: the peace of the One.
abhai niranjan param pad — the highest place, that of the One who is abhai, fearless, and niranjan, spotless. The seeker here is a bheekhak, a beggar. But this person begs for no money or fame. Their whole heart asks for the One.
Such seekers are rare. And rare, too, is the chance to feed one. Think of a friend running a race that matters to them. Handing them a water bottle feels like being part of their race.
If you could ask for just one thing and get it, what would you want your one thing to be?
